1/24/2019 – After a brief meeting with Shamino, the rangers traveled to the hall of the Brothers in Arms in Jhelom to meet with Keith to continue their pursuit of Rufus, headmaster of the Hand of Death. Keith, however, explained that the problems in Jhelom were worse than he had realized. He first explained that he was unable to locate his own headmaster and several other students of the Brothers in Arms, and his attempts to search for them had been thwarted by various fighters in the town looking to make a name for himself. The city was a complete mess because the unwritten hierarchy that fighters typically fit into based on their strength and skill was in complete disarray as many fighters thought to be at the bottom of the hierarchy had recently gained inexplicable strength and victories over seasoned veterans. Now, the city of Jhelom was filled with hungry fighters, many with a strange, unnatural strength, looking to bolster their reputation by fighting anyone known to be a skilled warrior, including Keith. For this reason, Keith requested the rangers assistance in escorting him around Jhelom to search for his comrades.

Initially they traveled to the graveyard where they found Robby, one of Keith’s peers. Robby seemed to recognize Keith at first, but became distraught with grief, perceiving for some reason that Keith was undead. Fixated on this illusion, Robby grabbed his axe and, after drinking a strange concoction, launched into an attack to “put his friend to rest”, but fortunately was knocked unconscious by the rangers before he could do any serious damage.

Afterward they traveled back across Jhelom to the Horse’s Head pub, wherein they found another of Keith’s peers, Renfry. The rogue also seemed to be captivated by some strange delusion as he began to hear Keith says things that were not actually being said, such as insults about Renfry’s mother, and refused to believe that Keith was standing before him, thinking instead he perceived an orc. Angered by the perceived insults, Renfry charged his friend and set off a brawl in the pub, yet like Robby he was also knocked out and brought to a healer.

Finally, Keith and the rangers set off to find the duo, Bosco and Hodge, a pair that Keith claimed were two fearsome warriors, and hoped that they were not also under some kind of hallucination. When they found them in the farm pen on the northern island surrounded by unconscious warriors, the pair seemed to recognize Keith. Yet, despite their recognition they seemed absolutely determined to fight and uninterested in Keith’s plea for them to snap out of their misplaced fixation. Once again, the rangers found themselves drawn into a harrowing melee with the two fighters but with some persistence, managed to put them down without killing them.
